Practice question: Burden of Proof in Tax Assessments

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A bank record relied on for assessment is conclusively shown to belong to another company with a different taxpayer identity. The BIR offers no reliable link to the assessed taxpayer. Can the presumption alone establish that taxpayer’s receipt?
  1. No; the foundational link to the assessed taxpayer must be supported
  2. Yes, every bank entry belongs to every company
  3. Yes, identity never matters
  4. Only the bank’s logo matters
  5. The taxpayer must pay another company’s liability automatically
